1 second faster than my previous demo.
I "think" I've finally reached my absolute limit on this map. I
can only think of one small tweak which won't save a whole second,
but of course, it's an iD NH, so you can never be 100% sure :-)
Being the idiot I am, I will probably return to this map in a few
years time with a new idea of saving one lousy second.

Here's a quick rundown of the demo:

This map suffers from what I call the "eight fiends sequence". This
applies only to skill 3 though. A new fiend will spawn every 30
second from when you've killed the previous one. One mistake with
the fiends, and you might as well start over.

1. You need to push the first button as fast as you can as it
   triggers the first fiend in the sequence.
2. You need to keep the speed after you've pushed the button in
   order to "gib-kill" the knight that spawns in your path,
   otherwise you'll come to a complete halt.
3. Kill the fiend that teleports in as fast as you can. Killing
   only THAT exact fiend will trigger the next in the sequence.
4. A big chunk of the run between this stage and the last is easy,
   apart from the fact that you need a ton of luck to kill the
   fiends fast.
5. Before you kill the last fiend, you need to open the gold key
   door in order to be able to bunny straight into the exit.
6. Intermission-kill the last fiend while you run for the exit.

It all boils down to timing and LUCK.
